Transimperial Internment
During the First World War, Spain engaged in humanitarian activities, including caring for internees, to substantiate its neutrality. On the African front, Spain’s small Central African territory became a refuge for German troops as the French and British seized control of Cameroon. By bringing together voices from Germany, Britain, and Spain, as well as some Cameroonian perspectives, the article offers a fresh narrative about the transcontinenta…
Family, global conflict, and imperial migration
The German Empire collapsed at the end of the First World War, necessitating a re-negotiation of the legal and social status of its former imperial subjects. This article discusses the wartime experience of Paul Messi, a Cameroonian language assistant at the Colonial Institute, Hamburg. Messi moved to Germany in 1913 to succeed his uncle, Karl Atangana who had returned to Cameroon to become Paramount Leader of the Ewondo and Bane. Atangana had se…
Global War and Anti-Radical Legislation
Japan’s military participation in the First World War was relatively brief but the war and the ideas it unlocked exerted an impact up to and after the Second World War. Japan experienced an economic boom during the war resulting in an exponential increase in the cost of rice. This sparked a serious challenge to the Japanese state. The ensuing rice riots of 1918 saw the government forced to deploy more troops to suppress them than it had sent to i…
Ireland and Palestine as Models for the Policing of the British Empire
Entangled Memories of Two World Wars
This paper, as a conclusion to this special issue, discusses approaches taken to memory studies of the First World War and what they can tell us about commemoration of the Asia-Pacific War. A lot of work remains to be done in connecting the historiographies of the two world wars of the twentieth century, but this is important if we are to fully understand the development of war and memory throughout the twentieth century and beyond. The First Wor…
Introduction
Articles in this special issue re-examine Asia-Pacific War memories by taking a longer and broader view, geographically, temporally, and spatially. A diverse, global team of thirteen authors highlights subjects across a wide geographical area spanning the Asia-Pacific region especially. In the process, articles question common assumptions and narratives surrounding Asia-Pacific War memories by highlighting crucial, in-between spaces and remembran…
The Heimei Maru Incident 1921
This article discusses Japan’s attempts at the repatriation of Turkish prisoners of war from Siberia at the end of the First World War. Due to the outbreak of the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922), the chartered ship, the Heimei Maru was interned by the Greek government as it entered the Dardanelles. Japan, wishing to fulfil a promise to the Turkish government, save its own sense of honour, and also demonstrate its humanitarian intentions, worked wit…
Civilian Internment during the First World War
Studies of the camp phenomenon during wartime are as old as the camps themselves. However, the focus in historiography has tended to be on prisoner of war camps. Matthew Stibbe’s new book makes an important contribution to studies of internment during war by not only shifting the focus to civilian internees but also by looking at internment from a global perspective. Civilian internment during the First World War was global in its reach and incor…
Colonial Captivity during the First World War
With the outbreak of war in 1914, an estimated 30,000 German civilians in African and Asian colonies were violently uprooted and imprisoned. Britain's First World War internment of German settlers seriously challenged the structures that underpinned nineteenth-century imperialism. Through its analysis of this internment, this book highlights the impact that the First World War had on the notion of a common European 'civilising mission' and the im…
Brücken, Beethoven und Baumkuchen
Japan's involvement in the First World War began at the harbour town of Tsingtao on the Shantung peninsula in China. Tsingtao was taken by the German Reich in 1897 in reparation for the murder of German missionaries in Shantung. In August 1914 Japan entered the First World War determined not to be denied its just rewards for a third time. Although no British or Japanese territorial possessions were under immediate threat from the Germans, Britain…
